Other strength of the L’oreal is that they set more attention in their particular
acts and activities. Their acts and activities are going to separate in the five
groups. These groups includes First is the Consumer product division in which

The biggest weakness which a company always facing is that its decentralized
organizational structure. This problem is also faced by the L’oreal. Because of
the many subdivisions of this company it is not easy to operate and control of
L’oreal. So, because of this the production of company getting slow down.
Other weakness which the company faces that it that their profits. The margin
between their cost price and selling price is comparatively low than their other
smaller competitors. So, the profit does not match with their expectations. This
is also happen because of large scale advertising and marketing. Lastly, due to
its multinational marketing strategy, even there’s also some diffrences
occurred in the promotion and campaign of L’oreal products as to what image
they are to be project.

External Analysis

The l’oreal company focuses on the beauty and cosmetics products for the
women of all the ages. The regular demand for beauty products gives
opportunity to the company to keep their focus in their specialized field,
specially on the hair stying and color, perfumieries, cosmetics and skin cares.
Exist as the leading brand in their field the company has well known image in
the world. Even in the developing countries also. Another opportunity for the
company is that taken from their greater market share due to the numbers of
patents registered by the company.

3.4 Threats

The basic threat to the company is facing competition within the field of
cosmetics brands. Because of the keeping going addition in the products,
there’s the danger that some other brand may take the profit of L’oreal.

Other threat to the company is different economy. Because most of the


products are only within the reach of the people of developed countries but
some how L’oreal solve this problem they make products for the people of
under-developed countries also. Thus the L’oreal company produce the
product of best of it line even people may tell that their products are not upto
their basic needs and would reject to buy the L’oreal product.

PEST Analysis

Each and every company must follow some strategy for their existence and
growth in the business. So, that’s why L’oreal also follows the Pest analysis
because they believe that it may have some impact on the company’s present
and future.
Political Analysis

Political factor always make effects the business specially during the period of
elections. Every government make different strategies and rules regulations so
it really makes effects the business because it is not easy to adapt that
changes for the whole business so that’s why even sometimes company have
to bear the great loss.

The economy measures the strength of the policy to support the business
cycle and specially in the period of recession. In terms of economic growth it is
necessary to create business environment more attractive in which business
can be fully establish and grow.

Taxation law always effects to the way business is conducted.

Social Analysis

The today’s young social factor is quiet diverse. To being in the market every
business needs to examine customers demand, their buying pattern and must
be innovative. People wants to be more socially aware and concerned about
environmental and ethical issues. Females are particularly influenced by social
issues as environment or community related.

Customers are very conscious about their image. They have different opinions
so they will look for different brands that really suits their personality and also
reflects current fashion. The society is more complex and diverse therefore the
people likely to adapt diversity in their life.

Technological Analysis

These days usually companies compete at global level so that’s why rapid
development comes in the technology.

It is an ability of an organization to adapt and use latest technological


advanced software’s for the sake of security as this security can reduce the
different illegal working behaviour such as fraud, shop lifting, misconduct and
so on.

acquire a huge market in India and the world. Hence, this covers the
marketing mix of L'Oréal.

STP

1.1.1. SEGMENTATION AND


TARGETING
Pride and Ferrell (2010, p. 161) de ne segmentation as separating a market
into segments with speci c
needs, characteristics, and behaviour that may be targeted by distinct
marketing strategies. It could be
seen that L'Oréal segments its customers into various groups. Firstly, using
demographical segmenta-
tion L'Oréal attracts people of different gender (women and men), age (young
and older), and race
(diversity) (L'Oréal, 2015b; Brassington and Pettitt, 2006, p. 423) by offering a
complex product port-
folio (L'Oréal, 2015b; The Statistics Portal, 2015) of 32 complementary brands
among 5 divisions and
5 product lines. This way, a large number of people could nd a suitable
cosmetic product to t their
demands. Concerning the psychographic segmentation, the Group attracts
different social classes by of-
fering products for both the middle class (the consumer product division
products) and the upper social
class (L'Oréal Luxe division products). Additionally, L'Oréal attracts people
of different personalities and
lifestyles, which includes travel retail consumers purchasing in duty- free
shops or natural cosmetics lov-
ers (L'Oréal, 2015b). This way, customers' buying behaviour might be
stimulated as clients can self-re-
ect in the beauty products. Regarding the behavioural segmentation, L'Oréal
groups customers based
on the bene ts they demand from the products. For example, within the
skincare business segment,
these might be people seeking products for anti-aging, cleansers,
moisturisers, anti-imperfections,
and others. Overall, one can conclude that the use of multiple customer
segmentation bases is due to
the actuality that the customer target group of L'Oréal are a mix of
demographic, psychographic, and
behaviour segmentations.
1.1.2. POSITIONING AND DIFFERENTIATION
Kotler (2000, p. 32) states that positioning is the key bene t of the product that
the target customers
have in their mind. Concerning L'Oréal, its large brand portfolio demands a
distinct positioning for each
brand of the Group, which could be seen from each of the brands' positioning
messages. For example,
two L'Oréal's brands are competing in the same product division, where Garnier is
well known for natural
ingredients and strong scientic research (L'Oréal, 2015e), while Maybelline New
York (L'Oréal, 2015f)
stands for glamour, New York energy spirit, and innovation, could demonstrate the
distinctive positioning.
Therefore, L'Oréal focuses on a differentiation strategy by highly differentiating its
products as a result of
the many market segments. Consequently, in customers' minds the L'Oréal Group
is positioned as a cos-
metic leader with products of high quality, care, and effectiveness (L'Oréal, 2015b)
among the large brand
portfolio. As an example, Lancôme products carry the unique characteristics such
as elegance, sophistica-
tion, and complementary skin care. Additionally, de Vries, van Helsdingen, and
Borchert (2012, p. 107)
state that positioning needs to be clear and differentiated to ensure a strong
connection with customers,
where also its repetition is crucial to stick in customers' minds, which was not the
case for Garnier and
Revlon who due to a weak positioning, failed in China (Masidlover and Burkitt,
2014). They also imply that
other L'Oréal's brands targeted a niche market to obtain strongermarket positions
than the mass labels

Csr
Medium: Mag the weekly
It is a fashion beauty magazine that publishes everything related to beauty and fashion. As
loreal is a beauty brand and also associated with fashion so this medium can be an effective
way of delivering message and publishing our ad.

Budget:
First of all bugdet will involve the set up cost that loreal will pay to the advertising agency.

Target Audience:
For CSR ad our target audience is women as the social issue that we are highlighting is
related to women that is "Cosmetic surgeries". That is why we are publishing our ad in the
beauty magazine because we are targeting women. Women now a days spent lacs on these
surgeries and bear pain and face many side effects and failed surgeries too. 

Idea: 
The idea of csr based print media ad is "cosmetic surgeries". Many women are trying to
change their natural beauty into artificial designed beauty. This is immoral to not beliveing in
oneself which creates complexes in other people. People start to enlarge their lips, shape their
face, their cheeks etc with creates inferiority complex among other people instead of
providing people with artificial beauty we should enpower them with what they are created
with and make them believe that natural beauty is worth it. Our ad is basically designed to
condemn the wrong standards of beauty that our society has built. People them start spending
lacs to shape their selves to look beautiful. Our society and encraved some beauty standards if
we fulfil them then we are beautiful and to meet that societial criteria we adopt this way of
cosmetic surgery which are really painful. All the message we want to deliever is that " Have
no fear of perfection" everything you have is worth it.

Medium: social media (Facebook)


We have chosen this medium for our ad because alot of percentage of our young
generation spend time using facebook so that is why it is an effective medium to
convey our message to our targeted audience.

Target audience: Our target audience for this internet based ad is the young
generation. We are targeting young generation because they are the generation
which is spending alot of time on the screens and internet. The ad that we have
designed is based on" social  anxiety" that is caused among young generation due to
over usage of technology.

Idea:
The idea of our ad is based on "Social Anxiety" . Now a day our new generation and
youngsters spent alot of time on social media and use techonology so much. This a
a very serious societal issue that should be discussed but yet it is ignored. This issue
is causing huge generation gap.Social media and mobile devices may lead to
psychological and physical issues, such as eyestrain and difficulty focusing on
important tasks. They may also contribute to more serious health conditions, such as
depression.The overuse of technology may have a more significant impact on
developing children and teenagers.
Psychological effects:

Overuse or dependence on technology may have adverse psychological effects,


including:

Isolation

Technologies, such as social media, are designed to bring people together, yet they
may have the opposite effect in some cases.

A 2017study in young adults aged 19–32 years found that people with higher social
media use were more than three times as likely to feel socially isolated than those
who did not use social media as often.

Anxiety and depression


According to many researches it was found that people who spent excessive time
using technology were more depressed and feel lonely.

Use of more technology can cause the gap in generation and family.

This can also cause physical issues like


Eye strain
Poor posture
Sleeping issues
Reduced physical activity

This message is actually delievered to youngster to convey a message that a person


who spend alot of time on technology is in real alone and creates a gap in people
around us.

Promotional program situation analysis

External factors

An analysis of the existing situation with respect to the market indicates that there are
various major players in the market that has resulted into stiff level of competition within the
industry. There are various companies offering different kinds of cosmetics targeting different
customer types. The situation with respect to cosmetics dealers in the industry implies that
different sellers are targeting different customer types .There is higher competition level in
the industry and branded companies. The situation is therefore highly difficult for the
skincare companies to penetrate the existing market.

Environmental Analysis
The environmental analysis through Porter Five Forces model is performed as
follows:

 Bargaining power of buyers: The bargaining power of buyers is significantly


higher because there are various cosmetics brands available and this
provides them with the opportunity to select from a wide range of cosmetic
products.
 Bargaining power of suppliers: The bargaining power of suppliers has been
relatively less because of large number of global cosmetics provider along
with various small players in the industry (Tuan, Michel, and Muthukrishnan
2002).
 Rivalry among existing Firms: The firms providing cosmetics are many which
lead to huge competition among them. The major competitors of L’Oreal
include MAC, Maybelline , Revlon , Dior , and many more.
 Threat of substitutes: The threat of substitute is higher because there are
various products being available that could be utilized.
 Threat of new entrants: The threat of new entrant is higher because there are
existing global players that have higher level of significance in the industry
and they have well established reputation that makes it difficult for other
players to make significant impact (Aaker and Joachimsthaler, 2000).

Competitor Analysis
An analysis of the competition level in the industry implies that there are various
global players in the industry that have significant level of reputation and presence.
The major competitors within such industry are Procter & Gamble, L’Oreal Group,
Unilever Group, Avon Products, MAC, Maybelline , Revlon , Dior ,and many more.
The existence of so many players at the global level poses significant level of threat
in the form of higher competition level within such industry.
Customer Analysis
Cosmetics are the essential daily care products that are used on day to day basis by
customers. With the increase in the number of companies providing cosmetics and
higher competition levels, there are various such variants of cosmetics being
available in the market. The customer expectations have increased significantly, and
they look for different variants. Because of such higher customer expectations levels
from cosmetics, they are categorized has highly demanding. With respect to the
customers of L’Oreal, they have higher level of expectations from the company.

Internal factors

Loreal spent almost $9 billion on promotion. Figure below demonstrates that L'Oréal uses all of

the tools, which could be great potential to attract different target groups; however, the analysis

reveals some criticism.

 With regards to L'Oréal, it could be assumed that firstly through promotion and

branding, customers are aware of the product's existence yet do not know anything else.

In this case, L'Oreal needs to heavily advertise to enhance the product's promotion. Then,

the customers know about its benefits such as the composition and price, and they might

show their initial interest, and thus develop a connection. In the next stage, the customers

prefer the product to other goods. This might be boosted by in-store product testing,

which further assists with convincing customers of the product's purpose over other

products. Finally, using discounts, in-store advice from personnel, or perhaps the

product's availability, pull the customer to purchasing the cosmetics. bringing the

promotion towards clients. Therefore, L'Oréal informs customers about the product, how

to use it, or perhaps how to achieve the desired look made by the makeup product.

 in 2014, the company further opened large numbers of dermacenters worldwide. Thus,

one could see that L'Oréal is utilis-ing its distribution channels to satisfy more customers

as these move across channels, which could further strengthen its com-petitive advantage

 L'Oréal is developing new products as well as product variants, and complementary

products to its existing product lines in ex-isting markets through continuous innova-tion

(L'Oréal, 2015b). This might be due to the fact that Winter (2014a) mentions that the

selection of beauty products is increas-ing to satisfy the consumers' needs, thus for
example, the beauty director advises that companies may develop 2-3 shadows darker

choices for their make-up products.

 For L'Oréal, digital marketing is a relatively new area, yet it has realised that

digitalisation is a crucial aspect in its success. Consequently, in 2014 it increased its

spending on digital media by 15.7% from 2013. 37MANAGING MARKETING

REPORT ON L’ORÉAL GROUPCRIS Bulletin 2015/01The following chapter inspects

the extent L'Oréal utilises digital marketing and highlights the bene ts for companies as

it could be assumed that the trend of TV and print promotion is diminishing, while digital

marketing is developing rapidly. As Ryan (2014, p. 12) mentions, digital marketing is

not about under-standing the technology, instead one must understand the people and

their use of technology to build lasting and equally ful lling relationships. Therefore,

digital marketing provides the ability to target speci c segments using the appropriate

tool and message.2. DIGITAL MARKETING2.1. COMBINATION OF

MEDIAHowever, it may be assumed that not everyone has easy access to technology, for

instance, elderly people. Also, the Internet might be limited by speed or accessibility (for

example, proxy restrictions in China). Henceforth, if L'Oréal employs a digital marketing

only, it is likely to be missing on some customer seg-ments. For this reason, and because

it might be hard when its products are not entirely online, the Group does not completely

switch to digital marketing. Instead, it uses a mix of digital and promotional tools to

follow both the younger people's trend of digitalisation and to keep the middle aged and

elderly custom-ers, who might prefer the more formal and traditional printed promotion

instead. This way brand aware-ness is maintained among the wide customer portfolio.

Digital marketing: L'Oréal Official Website ,E-mail Marketing, Social Media,

Mobile Marketing. Through its approach towards digital marketing based on adaptation

of its innovative ethos, multi-brand, and multi-channel, it aims to connect with clients

through emotions, engagement, and experiences

 As one could strongly believe that younger consumers of cosmetics do seek trends and

advice on the Internet, the Group is increasing its social media (Facebook, Twitter,

YouTube, Instagram), which allows customers to stay updated, informed about the news,

and raise their viewpoints. Moreover, the beauty bloggers that L'Oréal works with

(Neff, 2013) try, evaluate, and share the Group's cosmetics with their followers. These
both contribute to the brand awareness among the younger ones. Correspondingly, new

mobile applications enable people to try products and see themselves in real time without

wearing them (Winter, 2014b), match nail colour with their out ts (Howarth, 2014), or

watch online diagnoses, advice, and video tutorials (L'Oréal, 2015b). Thus, customers

are entertained and educated (Howarth, 2014).

 L'Oréal strengthens its customer relationship marketing strategy by pursuing agencies

managing their CRM (customer relationship management) databases, which according to

My Customer (2007), pri-marily increase customer loyalty and decreases churn. For

instance, in the UK one of L'Oréal's agencies creates and runs a database which involves

collecting data, designing the database, its creation, and analyti-cal examination leading

to enhanced segmentation of the market

 customer loyalty is a powerful competitive benefit for a brand; thus by the loyalty

programmes L'Oréal follows the customer relationship marketing strategy as well.

L'Oréal offers through its retailers. Additionally, the Group could consider offering

exclusive products, which would provide selected customers with prestige, exclusivity,

and access to special products and services. As these customers would be talking about

this programme, people would like to be part of it. Eventually, this could satisfy

customers and keep them loyal.

 L'Oréal sends directs emails to customers based on purchase history. L'Oréal could

consider engaging customers into entering its website where they can register, and in

return complete a questionnaire providing the company with feedback and

customers are able to enjoy better customer service. Again, this way satis ed

customers might more likely speak positively about the company and remain loyal

for longer

will show that females hiding their scars from makeup should also raise their voices against

domestic violence. Our ad will be in complete silence with a piece of emotional music as we are

using emotional appeal in this ad. The silence in this ad will depict that it's time to speak up.
Our

ad will be showing a female with scars and bruises on her face working in the kitchen. During

that, she receives a text on her phone saying

“ Hey! We will be right there in 30 minutes”. Reading this text the girl goes into her room and

start hiding her scars and bruises from the loreal base.

In the second scene of our ad, a female will be in her bedroom waking up in the morning with
scars and bruises on her face. She is getting ready for office and hiding her face scars and bruises

with loreal makeup. This scene also depicts that the girl is strong and independent but still not

raising her voice on domestic violence.

In the third scene, we will be adding some clips of domestic violence from all over the world

showing that this is a worldwide issue.83% of women who have been abused, choose to cover it

up and not tell anyone. Our ending will be also on black background with ending phrases.

5. CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
L'Oréal Group aims at offering beauty
product innovation to 1 billion new
women and men with regards to
their diversity; therefore the purpose of
the report is to critically analyse
L'Oréal Group's current marketing
and determine how it is going to
support it.
The analysis shows that a clear
positioning and differentiation,
improved publicity, obeying with
relevant
laws, and growing further through
market penetration could further
strengthen the brand's multiple cus-
tomer segmentation. Additionally,
despite the criticism, L'Oréal
signicantly emphasises on digital
market-
ing through its ofcial website, social
media, email marketing, and mobile
marketing. Yet, extra develop-
ment of the mobile applications could
be suggested. In terms of branding, the
Group's brands possess
different values and elements, yet all
together build a strong corporate brand
equity, which could be fur-
ther boosted by the overall experience
and brand extension. Moreover, based
on the analysis to improve
the current relationship marketing
strategies, L'Oréal might consider
engaging customers to be part of an
exclusive programme or to register
through its ofcial website; however
the Group might be required to
remove some in-company rules and
integrate CRM software training to
gain even more advantages.
Additionally, a coherent centralised
relationship strategy programme could
be recommended
